A New Coat of Paint

There is that barn again The red peeling paint shouts Old worn gray tired it says Memories running track Back in the fourties when Youth did reign rule really When the paint was new red Dancing and prancing here Singing joy fiddle plays Squares were formed to music Kicked up her heels in time Red paint new drew her beaus Well now that tired worn look Only need new coat_paint
